This trickles down to teenagers wanting to look like their favorite actors, which, a lot of the time, can cause harm because, as mentioned in this article, most of these actors and actresses are extremely thin individuals which is not healthy. All body types should be celebrated and called beautiful, not just these portrayed in teen television shows.
